Ethereum (ETH) is arguably the biggest player leading the charge into this upcoming altcoin season. It has held steady above an important line of support and is building bullish momentum above $2,500. The price of Ethereum today is slightly above $2,500, which represents a bullish bounce that has brought back optimistic sentiment across the board. This upswing comes on the heels of a successful retest of the $2,400 support zone, showing signs of renewed strength.
Additionally, ETH has tested a daily resistance between $2,700 and $2,900 several times before, indicating growing bullish pressure. Analysts suggest that if Ethereum breaks above its current rising channel, it could rally towards $3,000 and potentially extend further to $3,600.
Technical Analysis and Market Sentiment
Ethereum price managed to retest the $2,400 support zone as support, developing a strong base for bullish moves. The recent dip in Ethereum’s price is viewed by some analysts as a bullish "liquidity grab" preceding a significant rally.

Factors Driving Ethereum's Potential Surge
A few different reasons are behind the optimistic sentiment around ETH. Furthermore, in recent weeks Ethereum gas fees have remained relatively affordable. This stability attracts higher transaction volumes and fuels DeFi activity even further. This consistency is key to continuing to drive quality, long-term user engagement to the Ethereum network while luring in new projects.
We noted fields within the Ethereum ETF accumulation that are ramping up and short positions recently reached historically high levels. This development creates the recipe for an imminent explosive price movement. A short squeeze would be likely, forcing bearish traders to cover their shorts in a hurry and driving the price even higher.
